MOUNT HOLLY, n. j., is just now having
An epidemic OF typhoid fever from polluted
water. 1t appears that water for public use
is taken from Rsncocas creek. which tlo VS.
down from the cedar swamps, fifteen or
twenty miles away. The local Board OF
Health discovered that at Smithville, three
miles above Mount Holly, there were two or
three cases OF typhoid In q boarding house,
aud that the contents of q cesspool on the
premises passed directly into the creek.
Here the germs OF the disease entered the
water, and they were carried down to the
crib at Mount Holly, from which the water
used by the inhabitants Of that place is taken.
That the quality of the water of Raucocas
creek suffered by reason OF drainage from
Smithville-probsbly from other sources in
addition to the boarding house cesspool-is
shown by the fact that while teaspooniul
taken from the stream above Smithville
yielded only $50 bacteria, a teaspoonful

town have been urged to boil the water be-

LANCASTER, JULY 2s. 1857.
A RetrOspect,


The 1NTELLIeENCER publishes to. day q
resume Of its exposure of neglect at the
county hospital made public little more
than week ago. 1t is a story that will
crimson with shame the cheeks of the
charitable people of this county that such
mal-administration could have been per-
mitted to 60 on under the shadow of the
many church steeples in this city. 1t was
not . pleasant task for the INTELLIGEN-
GER to place this subject before its readers
In al the hideous details presented. Much
more agreeable journalistic work invited
on all sides in this sultry weather, but the
1NTELLIGENCER conceived it to be its
duty in the cause of oppressed humanity to
tell the plain story of neglect and to leave
TO the indignation of an aroused people a
demand for reform.

John Sherman's Case.

A most remarkable sight is presented in
the Ohio Republican convention to-day by
John Sherman, standing hat in hand, beg.
eing his state to indorse and aid his presi.
Dental aspirations. 1t has been wisely
said that the presidential office is one
neither to he sought or avoided. Uncle
John Sherman thinks it cannot be sought
with too much asiduity.
It is very probable that if Sherman had
1t to do over again, he would nave never
precipitated. his presidential aspirations into
Q state campaign. He doubtless believed
that his endorsement would be a matter
Of course, and that it would fix the eyes of
the Republicans of the country upon him
and make his selection as presidential NOM
inee beyond peradventure. He has learned
to his sorrow that such is not the case, and
that the Ohio Republican house is divided
against itself and against John Sherman.
All this he learned when it was too late to
retreat, and now he goes before Republi-
can convention in his own state to receive
it, divided allegiance, and he becomes the
self-seeking politician who has failed of
his desires.
Perhaps it is just as well for the people
Of the country and for John Sherman to
have the latter taken off the presidential
race track before the horses are called for
the start. 1t will save the Ohio senator
much useless effort and many sleepless
nights, and it will save the people from the
annoyance of a presidential candidate lif-
teen months before presidential election.

A Wrong View.

Some Of the high officials of the Knights
Of Labor have not been giving out much
wisdom in their recent public expressions
Notably Mr.. POwderly has been saving
some very foolish things on the subject of
emigration. And now Mr.. William II.
Bailey, another prominent officer of the
organization, has been delivering himself
OF these sentiments " The condition of
the labor men will be what it should he
when the general cooperative system is in
force. Then competition will cease and
not until then. Local efforts, at co.opera
tive work, from the nature Of things. can
nos succeed. ! do not look for relief from
local spasmodic efforts"
4 Asnifestly, Mr.. Bailey believes that
eompetition is wholly bad, yet we have
always been told that it was the life Of
tEa6e. Take away the spur of competi.
tion from human endeavOr, aud man will
soon revert to semi .barbaric state.

THE Washington correspondent of the New
York Herdid vigorously denies that Hon
Patrick A. Collins contemptlIously declined
10 oe secretary OF war when that post as
rendered him by ex Congressman Barnum
I'm the first place President Cleveland has
never desired the retirement OF Secretary
Endicott, so that Mr. William II. Bsrnum
was never authorized to sound Mr.. Collins or
any other man as TO whether he would accept
the Office OF secretary Of war. The cordial
relations between President Cleveland and
Congressman Collins are such that il the
president had any communication to make
to Mr.. Collins he would not intrust the matter
to another but would personally communi
cate with him. This is the way he does
business" The Herald man further gives
in regard to hostile remarks alleged to have
been made by Mr.. Collins of the Cleveland
administration, these remarks of a member
Of the cabinet. "He Collins not only pro
fesses the greatest regard for the president,
but the letter was written with the idea that
Mr.. Cleveland was to read it His faith in
his administration, in the wisdom OF his acts
In the solid tame he has established through.
out the Democratic party, his confidence in
his renomination and reelection are all
frankly and honestly written. His relations
with the president have been OF the most
Intimate nature. He has frequently been
the presidents guest at dinner in his home
circle and the mutual regard they have both
shown for each other is one Of the traditions
OF the White House. Now he is yilliti.d by
story that he has been in London in CON.
pany with blackguard who Undoubtedly ly has

Collins made use OF in speaking OF the ad.
